Answer:
\boxed{\text{True}}
Explanation:
Consider the electrolysis of molten MgCl₂.
During electrolysis
- Mg²⁺ gains electrons, so it is reduced.
- Cl⁻ loses electrons, so it is oxidized
[tex]\rm Reduction: Mg^{2+} + 2e^{-} \longrightarrow Mg\\Oxidation: 2Cl^{-} \longrightarrow Cl_{2} + 2e^{-}\\Overall: MgCl_{2} \longrightarrow Mg + Cl_{2}\\\\\text{Electrolysis is a }\boxed{\textbf{redox reaction}}[/tex]
